Fifteen years ago, I ran away from Whisper Hollow, Washington, a small town on Lake Crescent in the Olympic Peninsula. But truth is, if you were born here, you can never really leave. I'm Kerris Fellwater, and I'm a spirit shaman. It's my responsibility to drive the dead back to their graves, because around Whisper Hollow, people--and secrets--don't always stay buried.

My best friend Peggin finds herself under a curse after she is almost taken by the Lady of the Lake, and the Unliving are determined to drag her back to the hungry waters. As Bryan--my guardian and mate--and I work to break the hex, we uncover a dark and violent mystery from the past. One the Hounds of Cu Chulainn will do anything to guard--even if they must summon a legion of the dead to destroy Whisper Hollow.
